hey guys I'm close to closing a deal on a pc and was wondering whether you guys think it's a good deal?
specs are:

Intel i5 750 Over Clocked to just over 2.9Ghz
4GB 1600Mhz G-Skull Gaming Ram
Nvidia GTX 260 BFG OC 216 Stream Processors 896mb GDDR3 Ram - a little dated now but is still extremely fast as it is overclocked.
Motherboard - ASUS P7P55D
Raven RV01 Case
Custom MDPC Cable modding from the ground up (on a Coolermaster 520w psu)
Custom CPU Fanless Heatsink (Prolimatech Megahalems)
1Tb HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate
Comes with inbuilt wifi
CD/DVD RW Drive

the deal is a swap for my Halo Reach xbox 360 + £200
 
on a well known game website, you can get a preowned halo reach xbox 360 for £230, so the question is, is that computer worth £430?

i would say yes if it is a legitimate copy of win7 ultimate, but no if that is an illegal copy of win7 ultimate, or if you have some way of getting windows 7 home premium, professional or ultimate for cheap (i can get it for free from my university, and if you are a student you may be able to get it for a big discount, if not free)
 
well that would be my limit in this situation how come you want to swap anyway?
If it was me, i wouldn't want that pc id sooner sell the 360 for what i could and buy whatever i wanted with the dosh.
 
Ok, here is what you have to do...

Do the deal, take home the computer and take out the CPU and anything else you want to keep. Phone him up and tell him it does not work and ask for your Xbox and your money back. Sell the parts you took out of the computer and with that money + the money you spent and got back for the computer, go out and buy a brand new computer.

Now you have a computer just as good plus your Xbox!

If he says you took stuff from the computer, just deny it and tell the police he is harassing you.
 
well I've been trying to sell the 360 but have got no interest, may try the bay
also I think it's the case that is making me want it so much, as the rv01 is my favourite case
 
I have a friend that really likes the case too,
I personally think it looks hideous and all that plastic!!!
I do however think its cooling design and inside layout is great, I really like the maingear case which is basically the same thing just without all that plastic and a much sleeker look.
Also like its siblings although there not for me either, as the window is on the wrong side :)

Edit: and as for paying £430 for that outdated system, no way man i wouldn't do it.
Would you buy four p4 systems for £400
sell that 360 and buy a new product with the cash.

actually it's unlike all other silverstone cases with the rotated motherboard tray as the window is on the other side :)
 
hmmm if I can sell my xbox and my 460 then I can get an amd 955, crosshair iv formula, and a gtx 570/6950 for £460 :)

edit and then have bulldozer support, better graphics card and If I sell my current motherboard and cpu i'd have around £150-£170 :)
